 Mixed feelings about female lead   
Rating: 7.5 / 10.0

I'm a sucker for tall, cool and tough female leads - especially tsundere chracters. However... Lee Le Ting is downright rude, unreasonable and self-centered. Beniiro Hero's (Crimson Hero) Sumiyoshi Nobara is a lot more lovable in many aspects.

I really love Steel Rose so far! I'm enjoying myself reading it. I've laughed out loud nearly every chapter, and when I try to explain words, I can't find any to describe Loulou and his antics! And Le Ting is such an old grandpa, it's hilarious. So stern! I can't wait to see where this goes.

I liked Leting in Ingenuo, maybe because she did not appear that much. In this series, she happens to be the main character, so she does appear a lot, and I am also fed up with her lack of social skill and reasoning even though I am only at vol 3. She is very unreasonable, illl tempered, and always abuses her physical strength. I know that no characterization is perfect, and Lulu is there to change her, but come on, this is a shoujo manga, if I (the reader) cannot feel the sympathy toward the main female lead then...In fact, the reason I read this manga is to find out more about the couple in Ingenuo as well as all the bromances evolving around Louis lol
That aside, I have no problem with the drawing. The drawing style might slightly change, but I'd rather take that as an improvement. I would wish for more drawing details though, because sometimes Ryan just photoshopped in pictures instead.
9/10 for drawing style
9/10 for the characterizations in general
2/10 for Leting characterization
100/10 for all the bromances lol

I like it so far...as far as the story goes.
But Ryan-sensei, is he losing his touch? I mean...I love his 1998 work, Ingènuo. I REALLY LOVED IT. I had even given it a 10 in terms of story and art.
But, I feel like the art has somehow dwindled. Lulu looked so much better when he was in Ingènuo. ; A; Same goes with Le Ting.
I was really into reading this coz the first time Lulu fell in love with Le Ting, I was already behind him, cheering him on. x'D

So the art really bothers me. /cries. Can I hope it becomes better later on? :'<

EDIT: So I've seen the raws...and the art goes back little by little by the end of volume 5. The art that I came to love from Ingènuo. Thank goodness. Coz...the way Lulu looked really bothered me. ; A; So thank goodness he started looking male again...and even Le Ting started looking more feminine as the chapters went on :'] (however, Lulu will remind you so much of Yung Jo with blonde hair later on x'P)
It's funny how I can relate to Ryan-sensei about thinking up xxx-stuff involving main-characters of your stories. I feel so guilty. xD Haha.

 Don't like the drawing

I'm all for pretty looking bishies, but the main character looks like a woman.
It's hard for me to see him as a guy because he doesn't resemble a guy in anyway. Anyway, the story is kinds dull so I'm dropping this.

Just wanted to say that I'm looking forward to reading this manhua after I've finished Ingènuo. It's a really good story, so I have high expectations for this one too.

If you (person reading this right now?) haven't read Ingènuo yet, then that is a mistake. Be SURE to read Ingènuo if you're considering reading this project. I'll assure that you won't be disappointed.

Usually i do not like to comment on mangas or manhwas that i have browsed through in just raw, because although i have a few dictionaries is still not enough for me to understand. This is one that i really wish for someone to pick it up and scantalate in english or at least get licensed so that i can read it thoroughly. It's a great story, much more complex than Ingenuo and it actually gives us a sort of sequel to it with a wonderful ending that will just make you smile like an idiot....or rather it did to me.
